Rib Crib plans Elk City eatery

ELK CITY — Rib Crib plans to open its newest location here this summer at 104 Regional Drive. The Tulsa-based barbecue chain has nearly 50 locations in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Florida, Kansas, New Mexico and Texas. “Since 1992, Rib Crib has created a winning recipe that joins great customer service, slow-cooked barbecue and a growing brand. However, there's one element that truly makes our business a success, and that's communities like Elk City,” said Jeff Morrell, Rib Crib's vice president of marketing. “We look forward to opening our new restaurant this summer and building a relationship with this vibrant community that lasts for many years to come.”
